I just said the phrase “he doesn’t seem like the brightest knife in the toolshed” to myself which after a moment of thinking about it is a perfect mashup of “doesn’t seem like the brightest bulb in the box”/”he doesn’t seem like the sharpest knife in the drawer”/”he doesn’t seem like the sharpest tool in the shed” which are three completely independent sayings that all mean the exact same thing.
So what I’m getting at is I think despite the absolute literal nonsense the meaning still holds and I now plan to say that for everything.
I usually say “doesn’t seem like the shiniest rock in the garden” because the look on people’s faces is hilarious.
